Greg McGill is the founder of Honor Flights of the Central Coast. Greg was born and raised in Templeton and moved to Bakersfield in 2007 to play college football. He then started working for Kern County Fire Department and that is when he learned about the Honor Flight pro-gram. Greg went with Honor Flight Kern County as part of the medical staff on their inaugural flight. After going on a second flight, Greg was inspired to extend the Hon-or Flight program to the central coast in 2013 as a way to give back to the community he was raised in. Greg currently resides back in Templeton with his wife and he works as a fire fighter at the Camp Roberts Military Base.
As part of Greg’s presentation, we were treated to a clip from Cambria brothers Kyle & Carlos Plummer’s 2016 documentary about a group of 21 World War II, Korean and Vietnam veterans who were flown to Washington D.C. to see their memorials. A DVD of the documentary can be purchased at Tour of Honor DVD Movie | Honor Flight Central Coast California (honorflightccc.org)
